KTM first entered the IDM superbike class with its long-term partner Red Bull in´2009 – and had a great first season! After eight events and sixteen races Stefan Nebel had finished in the points fifteen times, achieved four podium positions and collected 184 points to become runner up in the IDM championship. The RC8 R riders Didier van Keymeulen, Kai-Borre Andersen and Jeremy McWilliams also achieved great results. A good enough reason for KTM to develop the refined 1190 RC8 R Red Bull Edition – in the style of the IDM bikes with the high-tech qualities expected of an RC8 R. The dynamic two-cylinder generates a power output of no less than 170 HP in the road-homologated version, which can be further increased by another 10 HP with the club race kit. The adjustable vehicle and seat geometry, premium-quality, fully adjustable WP chassis components, forged Marchesini light alloy wheels, Brembo highperformance brakes, milled triple clamps and carbon mudguard make one thing clear: the 1190 RC8 R Red Bull Edition is purely ‘Ready to Race’.
